When I put mine on I never had to move any reflectors either.

I had adjusted the screw here to be further up the cable.

Now it doesn't hit.

For each one full revolution of the adjustment screw, I tested the brake to see if it would hit. I stopped as soon as it didn't by hand pressure and I could see a little gap.

I wish to confirm this is the correct thing to do!

Just me trying to show off my toy with everyone else. :2tup:

IIRC, there's an adjustment screw on the brake pedal itself which you can use to alter the position of the brake pedal. Don't stop at hand pressure though, you're foot is going to put a lot more pressure on there when you want braking power.

The owners manual will give you the procedure for adjusting the pedal properly. Keep in mind the measurements will vary with your feet as they are not near as tiny as the feet of the guy who wrote the manual. You will also have to readjust the rear brake light switch to come on just before the brakes start to drag when you step on the pedal. It is just a matter of turning the switch which is threaded and easy to do.
If all else fail just bend the pedal to the side a bit if it will provide clearance. Above all the brake pedal has to be there under your foot when needed, not somewhere in the vacinity and you have to search for it.

IMHO it seems like a design fault. Strange that the manufacturers haven't picked up on it. :??:
